Appc Introduction to Lu6.2

by Alex Berson

This work covers the structure, components, and implementation of the IBM program to program communication protocol called LU6.2. It is used to connect applications running on mainframes, mid-range, and microcomputers. As examples the book details CICS interfaces, System Application Architecture (SAA), and Systems Network Architecture (SNA). It was a work of interest in the early 1990s for IBM platform network and communication specialists when proprietary approaches offered some competition to TCP/IP. Currently, circa 2020, it may be useful to programmers of legacy systems, or to historians of computer communications software evolution.
